Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to

Find out the efficacy of using complete decongestive physiotherapy on limb volume in advanced secondary upper and lower extremity lymphedema patients

Find out the efficacy of compression bandaging on limb volume in advanced lymphedema patients

This study was conducted to compare between the efficacy of complete decongestive therapy CDT and compression bandaging in advanced secondary lower extremity lymphedema
Detailed Description: The study was conducted at the department of plastic surgery Kasr Al-Ainy hospital Sixty patients of both genders aged from 40 to 55 years old were participated in this study and they were randomly assigned to two study groups

Group I Thirty patients received CDT 60 min of manual lymph drainage MLD compression bandaging exercises and skin care

Group II Thirty patients received compression bandaging alone The same bandaging scheme used for both groups The therapy included 12 interventions performed 5 days a week during the first two weeks in addition to another successive two sessions at the third week ie for a total of twelve sessions

Evaluation of limb volume using water volumetry and 4-cm truncated cone circumferential measurements were done before treatment application after 6 sessions post 1 and after 12 sessions post 2
